Growing Tips for Ivy
Ivy requires low maintenance and tolerates shade but prefers bright positions without direct sunlight. In low light, the leaves may lose their variegation. It withstands cold down to -2°C but suffers in excessive heat, so in summer, it needs ample watering once or twice a week, while in winter, watering every 15 days is sufficient.
Resilient and hardy, ivy adapts to any soil as long as it is fertile, well-drained, and always slightly moist. From April to September, it is recommended to add a liquid fertilizer for green plants to the watering every 15 days.
Ivy grown on walls should be pruned in February-March and again in summer to shorten branches that have grown too long. It is easy to transplant and propagates by cuttings, which can be taken in July-August or in autumn.
